Painting the Roses

Just a little craft project.  For a fashion show I did a few years back I made a series of hair pieces consisting of flowers dipped in various colored latex and shined in the same fashion as latex garments.  I am not interested in making hair pieces but thought I would revisit the process for fun.  I started with black because I wanted to make a piece for a small spot in my room.   

Topshop Unique Fall 2011

Julien Macdonald Fall 2011

Okay, I'm ready. And flowy frocks.

Perusing the net at my usual spots and I am seeing some little wants for spring.  Here are a few.  Flowy and sheer, sexy and comfy.

Polka Dots!

Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 does not disappoint!  So much so, that it was difficult to leave out images of pieces.  I love the polka dots, the experimentation with material and texture, and the lines!  These pieces are structurally strong but also so complimentary to the female body.. also a nice hybrid of romantic and mod (IMO).  THIS is why I love fall..  SO I'll just go into shopping hibernation until then.
